I want to eat the earth: Summer Solstice

Curated and produced by NSOTA scholars, ensemble, and friends.

NSOTA is a radical experiment in alternative education, away from marketisation and arcane specialism towards co-sensing systems change through creative practice.

This is an ecological transmission of DIY ethics, non-hierarchical structures, radical networks, interconnected sensing through sound, text, voice, spoken word, human and more-than-human collaborative practice, patchwork group thinking, and radio art.

This episode is created for the Summer Solstice, where “Plans for the day hover bright out all our doors – don’t think of evening” (Rose Styron). The piece is curated and produced by Ambrose Hrebeniak, Simon McClelland Morris and Chris de Selincourt composed using original material from NSOTA scholars.
